From: Janice Campbell
Was it Benjamin Franklin who said, "The early bird gets the worm"? I didn't really have an appreciation for that idea until one of my sons graduated from college at the age of nineteen, and went directly into a cushy job with a Fortune 500 corporation-- all because the president of the company was intrigued by all he'd accomplished during his teen years!
Each of my sons has started earning college credits when they were in their mid-teens. By studying just a little deeper, and doing a little planning, they were able to enter college with quite a few credits already under their belts. But why did we want to do it? How did we convince our teens that it was a good idea?
| "Homeschoolers do things differently, and college is no exception. The brick-and-mortar college is only one option among many. Homeschoolers are leading the way in distance education, combining proficiency testing with other options to tread a more affordable, family-friendly approach to higher education. Janice Campbell helps us walk this path with confidence, giving us the benefit of her experience, along with charts and checklists to guide every step. Don’t consider college until you investigate Ms. Campbell’s book, Get a Jump Start on College; A Practical Guide for Teens"! Christine Field, author of Help for the Harried Homeschooler, Homeschooling the Challenging Child, and more... |
There are many reasons! Teens who finish college early have an automatic head start on life. I found that the challenge of earning credits and the goal of early graduation motivates and focuses a busy teen in a way I would never have imagined. Suddenly, schoolwork has real meaning, and there is a tangible reward for the time they spend. Earning college credits gives them immediate feedback on the quality of their learning. It shows they are motivated and willing to challenge themselves, and that's a terrific way to earn the respect of peers, mentors, and yes... the college admissions department.
I've been fascinated by the idea of early college ever since I heard of the Swann family, whose 10 children earned bachelor's degrees at age 15 and master's degrees at age 16, all from the comfort of home. Compare that with the average 16-year-old who is looking at six more years of school just to finish a bachelor's degree! And that's not even mentioning the fact that earning college credits independently can save you thousands of dollars!
I didn't necessarily want the boys to earn their entire degree at home, but I could see that there were huge advantages to getting a jump start on the future. College credits add tremendous credibility to a homeschool transcript. They show academic ability, motivation, maturity, and so much more. I knew my boys were academically up to college-level work, but they definitely weren't ready to be immersed full-time into the college scene. Earning credits independently allowed us to keep homeschooling as long as we wanted to, while still meeting their academic needs.
| "One of the sad ironies of life is that many Christian parents train up their children and then actually pay for their spiritual destruction at secular and liberal Christian colleges. Janice Campbell's book, Get a Jump Start on College, offers excellent advice for getting a college education while avoiding full immersion in what often ends up being a 'University of Destruction.'" David Wheaton, author of University of Destruction |
Teens who earn college credits during the high school years are way ahead of the game. They have options!
It was definitely Benjamin Franklin who said "Dost thou love life? Then do not squander time, for that's the stuff life is made of." The high school years are short and precious. You can make the most of them by helping your teen get a head start on life.
